Dimensions on the Z axis

marvin's Photo marvin 02 Oct 2014

Hi everibody,

I created a 3D drawing of a roof composed by 4 surfaces, having a rectangular perimeter, with the small side surfaces being triangular shaped and the others trapezoid shaped. No problem on dimensioning in the XY plane, also for the slanting sides, rather I'm in trouble in setting the height dimension, i.e. the dimension along the Z axis from the top of the roof to the plane where the perimeter lies: it seems that nanoCAD doesn't allow such measure.
Is there anyone that would explain me hot to solve such problem?

Many thanks in advance
MarVin

SOLVED: I changed the UCS to the side view in order to have the X axis in side of the world Y one and the Y axis in side of the world Z one.
